Much thanks for the excellent reply. I am losing the weight, but not feeling as full as I think I should. I'll try the recommended diet changes and discuss it with my Dr. when I see him next week. I guess we'll decide at that time if I need a small fill this visit.

Hi. I have a question about how much of a fill is just right. Got my band last October and have had three fills since. Lost 20 pounds with the pre-surgery diet, and 30 pounds since the procedure. First fill produced no results. 2nd fill was actually a little too tight (could not drink the 2 glasses of water), so my doctor backed it out a bit. This last fill, my third, is probably pretty close to where it needs to be. But, what's the perfect spot? After this third fill, some foods fill me quickly. Others a bit slower. And some do not seem to be blocked at all. I know that the consistency of the food is a major factor, as is amount of chewing and speed of eating. But, with the exception of liquids, shouldn't most foods fill me rather quickly? Have had a little bit of minor reflux, but never had any vomiting problems. My next appointment is in a couple of week. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
